If a state wishes to observe DST they must do so on the Federal schedule. A state can choose to stay on standard time without any federal approval. The quirk here is that these states are wanting to be on DST year-round, which means they are observing DST off the federal schedule, so they actually do need approval for that. If a state lies in multiple time zones they can actually split the policy by zone. Indiana did this for a while.
I suspect I'm in a different type of organization than you but I l'm much happier managing HL7 interfaces with Epic. Epic's the big dog so all my vendors know exactly what they need to do, compared to our previous not-the-big-dog EMR which was a massive headache. Then again, we massively customized our previous system so many of the headaches were of our own making. With Epic we put up at least some resistance to any significant deviance from their standard stuff.
Apologies but I must raise a point of order. HIPAA has almost nothing to do with what physicians need to document. "HIPAA-compliant documentation" isn't a thing. I read the whole law when it came out. It's strictly about limiting how healthcare providers share or don't share data. If HIPAA had a big effect on a practice it's because they were crap. The only effect I noticed on several decent providers was some privacy screens and more effort put into verifying fax numbers, which was a good idea since mis-faxed records have long been a problem.
HIPAA is however, a great excuse for laziness. "I can't do it because of HIPAA!" became the rallying cry of lazy medical office staff everywhere. That's not the case with your docs, the documentation requirements are extreme, they're just mostly from insurers, legal departments and a myriad of "best practices" that someone has chosen to require.
I would never rely on a layman's estimate of risk. NASA says that Propellant loading is the most dangerous pre-launch activity and in this case I'm going to trust them. SpaceX isn't denying that it's dangerous, just that they've managed the risk well enough. I'm thinking that they probably have, but I'm not particularly qualified to make that judgement so I hope they don't consult me on it.
I note that you give a rather detailed list of all the activity happening in scenario 2, but just say "Propellant loading begins" in scenario 1. If I were to similarly manipulate the amount of details provided I could probably make tying my shoes sound more dangerous than a NASCAR race.
Ars has a great write up on it and an actual shuttle engineer added some information in the comments. The most obvious issue is that there was no way to prevent what happened to Columbia from happening to Atlantis (which was in the VAB at the time) and losing 2 shuttles. Link: https://arstechnica.com/scienc...
You can rise to the top *real* quick though. My brother and brother-in-law are both master electricians. Many of the people who try to fall-back on the trades are people who are barely able to succeed at tying their shoes every morning. If you show up on time (sober), work hard, can follow instructions and aren't a total jerk you're doing better than 80% of the people and will quickly be become a guy the master electrician wants with him on every job - that can be way before any official apprenticeship starts. If you happen to understand how electricity works that's nice as well. I doubt they pay more than $15/hr, but that's not a bad wage for somebody without a degree. If you already have a degree, probably not the best idea, but far from the worst.
As terrible as ComCast is they don't generally care about this so long as it's on their officially supported router list. You may have more jerks in your area than I do though.
Subscribe to your niche stuff and ignore the rest. In general, the bigger and more popular subreddits do tend to be kinda terrible. I can't say I'd recommend something like the League of Legends subreddit. It's just too popular (most MMOs are the same). You probably want to avoid/r/politics and/r/news. The more narrow your interests are the better reddit becomes.
Here's some examples of good niche subreddits: www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens - I have no interest at all in fountain pens, but if you do, this is for you. This is my favorite example of a cool super-niche subreddit. www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress - one of the best and most civil of the gaming subreddits. But it might be surpassed by: www.reddit.com/r/kerbalspaceprogram - Just discovered KSP and took 5 days to land on Minmus? Everybody there knows that feeling and will celebrate with you, even though they all have single-stage-to-orbit spaceplanes running around the outer planets. www.reddit.com/r/askhistorians - Well known for having stringent rules and strong moderation; you will learn some amazing things about history here.
For more tech oriented subs: www.reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards - You like mechanical keyboards? these people know them. www.reddit.com/r/trackballs - Long live the Microsoft TrackBall Explorer! www.reddit.com/r/buildapc - A really interesting sub that I only visit when it's time for an upgrade. Regular Joes (or Janes) will post what they are looking for in a PC and the tech pros suggest builds. It's usually pretty civil. www.reddit.com/r/thingscutinhalfporn - Pictures of random items that have been cut in half. See also the entire sfwporn network (which ranges from cool nature pics to random things cut in half) www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful - charts and graphs
For some more humorous and lighthearted stuff: www.reddit.com/r/ExplainLikeImCalvin - Your questions answered as if you are Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes) and the people answering are his dad. This sub definitely builds character! www.redditcom/r/TheChurchOfRogers - Strive to be the person Mr. Rogers knew you could be! www.reddit.com/r/writingprompts - Essentially a never-ending writers workshop. Great for aspiring writers and those who like to read stuff by aspiring writers. www.reddit.com/r/Random_Acts_Of_Pizza - People buying pizza for those in need of pizza.
I'll provide one good example of a solid mid-range sub: www.reddit.com/r/boardgames - It's kinda busy, but if you're into board games this is how to keep your finger on the pulse of what's happening.
I mostly agree with you, but I'm not clear on the persistence of these attacks.
If it is actually installing nearly undetectable malware within the processor itself then just about anyone could set up shop and sell you an infected CPU or intercept and infect your hardware before it gets to you. That's always been a somewhat theoretical attack that sophisticated intelligence agencies might be able to pull off, but it sounds like this *might* make that very easy for anyone of moderate technical skills to pull off.
This isn't a case of "so far beyond wrong." It's a case of confusing nomenclature. States can choose to have a state guard (and even state navy) in addition to the national guard. It get's murky because they are partially regulated by the National Guard but are not otherwise part of the National Guard Command Structure.
Furthermore, to quote wikipedia: As governors often use state defense forces to augment their state's Army National Guard and Air National Guard units, state defense forces have been both officially and informally called National Guard Reserves. When not on assigned duties by the President the National Guard forces are under the authority of the Governor of the State they are stationed in. So if you see an announcement that your Governor has deployed the National Guard it's likely that he has deployed both the National Guard and the State Guard (if your state has one)
Most of those lights probably are required due to FAA regulations so planes don't fly into those structures at night. From a brief googling of this it seems any structure over 200 feet above ground level needs either lighting or a specially designed aviation paint warning pattern. I would expect more people would opt for the paint, but it's possible that particular paint is quite expensive.
Actually, most hospitals do have just such a system in place. There are plenty of ways for it to be configured. In most cases it takes several unusual hits for it to flag for a review so a clinical user (nurse, therapist, etc) can definitely get away with a lot before it would flag them - it really depends on how they accessed it and what they accessed. Systems 14 years old probably don't have as much security.
I know that among other things our system even compares my address to those of patients I access to make sure I'm not trying to snoop on neighbors.
That may not meet the official definition of getting 'a cut' of a sale, but it still means they get more money when more guns are sold. At a high level there is very little difference.
Does this lovely partnership apply to ammo sales and anything else a firearms retailer might be selling?
It's my understanding that unions outside the US have a very different mindset and relationships with the employers than US unions do and could often be said to see eye to eye there.
No, we're going to point out that voter ID won't do anything to stop election officials from criminal activity. All investigations into election fraud have pointed to this being by far the biggest issue.
Note that technically this isn't voter fraud since the official isn't impersonating anyone else, it's general election fraud and is a much bigger deal. Most places have minimal protections against crimes by election officials and a single bad official can have an effect that is orders of magnitude greater than even a co-ordinated attempt by regular folks to try to vote multiple times.
In counterpoint to that I think Nintendo is the most adaptable of the 3 console makers.
Last Christmas we agreed that it was time for a new console in our house. I initially assumed it would be a PS4 or XBone, but as I looked into the games available everything I was interested in on PS4 or XBone will also be released for PC. The PS4 and XBone are so similar to a PC that I saw no point in them. I went with the Wii U and am quite happy with it. I doubt I'll be getting a Switch next year, but I can envision getting one at some point. I can't envision getting a console that's mostly indistinguishable from a PC and Nintendo is the only console maker that seems to offer anything else.
It took it a few seconds but it eventually displayed what I'm assuming is the standard help screen for pip. 'pip list' worked fine and recommended upgrading pip with 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' I tried that and it worked fine.
That was an interesting question though. I've never run any other scripting language from a powershell prompt. I'm a ruby guy myself. I don't even remember why I have python installed.
Nope. To get a list of all powershell commands you use 'get-command'. Mine shows 465 commands, but I have a few additional providers installed. Usually the real help is opening a browser and typing 'Powershell x' into your search engine of choice.
For your enjoyment here is the really horrible output of 'help'.

The vast majority of the commands are aliased so that they do work. However, the switches and options for the commands are all messed up. dir works fine. dir with any options does not. (same for ls) There are some edge cases where you'll have to put.exe in so it knows what you want. I use sc (service controller) from cmd all the time, but in Powershell that's the short version of Set-Content, so If I want to use it in Powershell I have to specify sc.exe.
That's actually somewhat of a good thing. Once they have personally examined the patient they would be legally required to keep silent. "Patient is running for President" is not a legal reason to break confidentiality. Until that point they can bullshit all they want.
I can address the "What exactly fails that stops the power" portion, at least indirectly. It stops because it's designed that way as a safety feature. If the power is out there is probably a line down somewhere. That line will require someone to fix it. If you are feeding power in you will potentially electrocute the person trying to fix the line.
